Re: Teaching revision
Posted by musicbug on 12/29/07

    Revision is an entirely different skill than editing. I find
    you must separate the two in order for the kids to do both. My
    kids do a practice edit every day. Most are gettting better at
    noticing problems. For revision, I have the kids read their
    work out loud to me or a partner. They spot much more when
    they hear what they have written. I also have a check list I
    use where their partner must answer: What is the best part of
    the piece?; I'd like to know more about....;I'm confused
    about.....; .
    Another thing to try when they are too busy telling their
    friends how wonderful the work is, pick their partners for
    them. I also tell all my kids that real friend would want you
    to do your best and should point out errors.
    My favorite trick is to write something on the overhead(
    just wing it) then you and the kids revise your work. It
    allows them to see that all writers must revise.
    Good Luck.
